Welcome to ChemBAM!
We are a group of chemistry researchers who are passionate about showcasing the importance of chemistry. Many things in our everyday lives depend on chemistry and chemistry researchers are tackling some of the biggest challenges facing our world.
We believe that teaching chemistry through ‘real-world’ examples makes it more exciting for the teachers and the pupils. Our award-winning website contains resources for teaching and learning, including lesson ideas, experiments, videos and images. The resources link the chemistry from the UK national curriculum to research and ‘real world’ chemistry from universities and industry.
The ChemBAM team is based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. If you are based in the area and would like to request us to run a workshop in your school of community group please click here for more information.
The website is currently edited by chemists Ruth Patchett, Zoe Schnepp, and Nicola Rogers with many contributions from a whole host of scientists.
If you are a scientist and would like to contribute to this website please contact Zoe Schnepp at the University of Birmingham. If you want to find out how to use our resources for outreach activities, take a look at the following page.

Hi Kat, they can be found under the ‘home learning’ tab, although we are also in the process of developing versions to be used in a school by a teacher. Can I ask where you heard about ChemBAM from? We’ve had a huge increase in hits in the past day and are curious to know where they have come from!
